Here are tips and tricks Easy Planting Tea
There are several factors that can help to maximize the cultivation of tea, such as climate, soil, nursery, planting, pests and diseases, maintenance, picking, processing There are several factors that can help as a maximizer in tea cultivation, such as climate, soil, nursery, , pests and diseases, maintenance, picking, processing.
1. Climate
Even tea trees can be planted in the lowlands this is less comparable with tea plants grown in the highlands. The ideal rainfall to grow tea is on average per year 2000 - 2500 MM, while for the dry season ranges from 100 MM.
In addition, tea trees are very well planted in the highlands but please note, if the tea tree planted in a very high so the result will be less than the maximum, its growth will be hampered. Therefore, the height is cultivated at positions 800 - 1100 MDPL and Do not exceed 1200 MDPL as well as good Temperature for tea plants that range from 14 掳 - 25 掳 C.
2. Land
Soil factors in the growth of tea plants as well as other plants, which is something that is very important, because the nature of the soil should be fertile, friable, can seep into the water, and water circulation smooth.Untuk get such planting media we must pay attention to things- things as follows:
a. Conducting terraces on the ground is quite steep.On a land that is not too steep can be planted types of green fertilizers lined up according to tranche among rows of staple plants.b. Make a dead ditch with the intention that the water flowing in the soil surface can be accommodated and for the next through the trench water will enter the ground. Thus, water flowing in the soil will not result in erosion. Then planting tree-type tree leguminosa can also improve the physical of the soil. Because this tree has a root system that can penetrate into the ground far away.
3. Nurseries
To get a good tea seed, we can get it from government plantations or from tea farmers. In addition we can breed ourselves by way of letting the tea plants live with lush without dipoyong, will be issued seeds that we can take for breeding.
Tea seeds should be sorted before they will be seeded, usually seeds that are ugly like seeds are attacked by a seed bean with the characteristics of the surface of seeds spotted with light brown, and the condition of seeds that have been decayed or rotten due to fungus attack or scars.
4.Bedengan Tea
The cracked seeds planted in the trunk should be 4 x 4 cm apart, planting with the distance is aimed so that the roots of tea seedlings are not curved. How to plant: seeds planted face down. Giving sand a bit thick for roots can grow optimally. After the roots grow 3 - 5 cm, then move to the nursery.
5. Nursery
Before the seedlings are planted we planted first planting in the nursery, usually planting seedlings split 15 x 20 cm or 20 x 20 cm, if the bed has a width of 100 cm then the bed is enough 4 rows.Cara Planting In Plantation.
a. Draw a hole measuring 50 x 60 x 60 cm, the topsoil and top layer are separated. The hole we dug instead of in the anjir, but between the anjir one and the other, thus the anjir still in place respectively.
b. Dig a hole that has been eaten beforehand, if the ground to be perforated already marked, after that the new anjirnya removed, but when will plant the hole, again we have to mengajiri again so that planting can be straight.
c. Excavation every time step 1 anjir, where the temporarily stepped anjir not hollowed out and then the hole was planted, to straighten the rows of plants is easy to work because some of the anjir still exist.
Tea tree seedlings are ready then planted in the former place of anjir. After that go back then back the seedlings with the former discharge ground into the hole again, then the soil pressed to compact. Planting distance for each plantation is different, but to ideally we take the spacing with the following sizes: 120 x 150 cm, 130 x 140 cm, or 125 x 125 cm. Because with such rare planting the tea tree will be stronger to withstand a long dry season attack.
The number of plants using such spacing is usually 5,000 - 6000 stems / ha. When using a meeting distance of 10,000 - 12,000 stems / ha.
6. Maintenance
Plants that we have planted should be maintained regularly in order to grow optimally. The way is divided into three parts: a. Maintenance of the tea tree itself. Maintenance of the protective tree. Ground maintenance For maintenance on tea tree we divide into 3 steps:
a. Trimming of tea trees and treatment of cuts used cuts.
b. Taking results or how to pick them up to get results as much as possible without affecting the condition and condition of the tree itself.
c. Keeping the tea tree from disease or pests. If any of the infected immediately eradicate or treat.
